Req Metadata support for radio streams (Icecast/SHOUTcast)
#1
Hey Afedchin, please add support for metadata in iptvsimple radio-channels interface. When the channel is audio only(Icecast/SHOUTcast), to not relying on XMLTV EPG, but the metadata in the stream itself. There are not enough sources of EPG for radio channels.

For example, the following stream metadata is supported in the music section of Kody, if opened as a file-playlist:
Code:
http://tuner.country108.com:80

If we add a direct link to the configuration of a PVR addon such as IPTV Simple Client, then the metadata is not displayed at all:
Code:
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1 tvg-logo="Country108.png" group-title="radio" radio="true",Country108
http://tuner.country108.com:80
Image

Think about it please!

Does anyone know if this is possible yet in IPTV Simple Client?

Kodi can play m3u files directly... If I play a m3u file to stream a popular radio channel in Kodi the metadata (Artist - track name) appears on screen.

However when I play the stream in IPTV Simple Client add-on I get sound but no meta data telling me what is playing.

I'd like to keep using the add-on.

Cheers

It isn't pvr.iptvsimple it is a backend change.  As mentioned in this thread https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=351696 I did submit a PR for this last year.

Thanks Martin,

I hope the kodi devs implement your fix because I prefer using iptv simple to integrate all my streams in one place.
